Hello there,
the problem simply is that the lens is old and weak, cleaning it would not solve it but replacing it would be very ok.

to replace it, you look for a compatible replacement lens, then unscrew the dvd player, you would screw out the cd clipper that is above the lens, then you carefully disconnect the lens and replace it, try a dvd before screwing back to see it is working before you screw the case back on it.

Hi
Try using a DVD/CD laser cleaning disc.It sounds like it's having trouble reading it.
Saying that with a lot of combi units sometimes the DVD drive fails down to using cheaper components to keep the price low.I guess that's the price you pay for buying two units in one.
Try cleaning the lens first though.
Good luck....

dvd player keeps saying no disc when I try to play a dvd.what can i do? worked fine until about 3 months ago. started to say no disc when disc inserted but after opening and closing 3 to 6 times it would read.now it just wont read. any ideas?

After 2-3 years generally all optical drive lenses goes bad,so first try by cleaning lences,if it not solves your problem then try by replacing lence of your DVD Drive,if you have any problem regarding this issue leave a feedback we will glad to assist you.

1.) How old is the DVD Player?
2.) What is the brand of DVD Player?
3.) Does it do this for all DVD's or a specific DVD?
4.) Has anything changed in the last week or so?

If the DVD player is less than a year old it most likely has a Manufacturer warranty. Also if you haven't tried already try putting another disk in the dvd player and see if it will read it. If it won't read another DVD try a CD.

It can be several reasons
1. Disk is upside down
2. Lens is durty. You will need to use CD/DVD cleaning disk for that
3. Disk is having diffrent region code or recorded in diffrent formate (for instance player playback disk recorded in NTSC, and you trying to playback disk in PAL formate)
4.Disk is recorded at higher speed (for instanse player markered X16, but disk is recorded at X24)
Good Luck
